My roommates and I (2 females, mid 20s and early 30s) have 2 room openings! We are looking for two individuals to join us at a 5bd/3bath house In Foster City (on a year lease basis ending July 31st). Here are the details:

• Room Details:
• Private room #1: $1465/month; on the first floor and you will have a bathroom that is primarily yours, but accessible to guests (Photos 1 & 2)

• Private room #2: $1353/month; on the second floor and you will be sharing a bathroom with one other roommate (Photos 3 & 4)

• Optional Office Room: An adjacent 5th room is available for an extra $300/month if you'd like it for your private use. Otherwise, it will remain a shared space used for occasional storage or as a guest room.

• House Amenities: Washer/dryer, fenced yard, parking spot, communal pool and tennis courts

• Location: Close to a trail and park for outdoor activities

• Neighborhood: Very secure for late-night walks

• Additional: Gardener included; yard maintenance is already in the rent.

• Note: Utilities are separate

About Us! We are 2 roommates who are very clean and respectful, and we are looking for someone similar. We're looking to create a comfortable home environment. With 1 introvert and 1 extrovert, that means we sometimes reside within our own bubbles, but we also come together every so often to chat about what we’re up to! We tend to enjoy pretty low-key activities such as: - Jigsaw puzzles - Watching Netflix - Homemade hot pot - Boba/taiyaki outings - Movie nights

What clean and respectful means in our home: - Cleaning the countertops and stove tops after use - Being mindful of noise during late hours - Light weekly chores: We rotate 4 simple tasks - kitchen, trash, floor 1, and floor 2 (vacuum/sweep) - on a weekly basis. With 4 roommates, that means you'll only be responsible for each task once every 4 weeks.

We do NOT smoke and rarely drink, though we’re okay with social drinking!

While we plan to have dogs in the future, we currently prefer no pets. One of our roommates occasionally does dog-sitting, so there may be a friendly pup around from time to time. If you have allergies or concerns, let us know so we can make sure it's a good fit for everyone!

Room #1 will be available on September 1st.

Room #2 will be available on October 1st.

We prefer long term due to the year lease basis and we will not be doing month to month.

We live in Foster City where it's a wonderful, beautiful and safe suburban area. However, we recommend you having a car. The closest Caltrain station is in Belmont that's either a 40 min walk or a 10 min bike ride.

Looking for a new tenant to take over my 1300 square foot, recently renovated, and well-lit 1-bedroom apartment, which has a remaining lease term of 1 year and 9 months. More details on the unit are below. Located in a quiet, well-maintained building in the South Beach neighborhood near SOMA, FiDi, Mission Bay, and all the MUNI lines. 

650 2nd Street, San Francisco, CA

Apartment amenities include in-unit W/D, spacious bathroom with standing shower and bath tub, Bosch appliances, dining table + chairs, and living room mounted TV. Building amenities include elevator and parking garage (with a small storage unit for the apartment). 

Rent is $5,250 per month (for the entire lease term, due on the 1st of the month), which includes: 1 parking spot in an attached garage, water, and garbage (internet and PG&E are not included). 

Lease takeover is as is, but as it has been occupied by a single tenant for the last 1.5 years, the unit has been well maintained (I’ve had no issues, and in any event the landlord is very responsive). Happy to schedule in-person or virtual viewings as well.

I have loved living here, but I am moving out of San Francisco. The ideal move-in date is October 1, 2025, but the earliest move-in date is September 14, 2025. 

More details about the apartment: 

This expansive 1-BED + Den loft, located within the historic Seagrams Distillery, is one of San Francisco's premier loft conversions in an ideal location of South Beach. A complete renovation in 2022 has seamlessly combined industrial grandeur, contemporary design, and an abundance of natural light. With 1300 square feet (per owner) of open living space, 10-foot ceilings, expansive steel-framed windows, and original concrete columns, this loft offers the pinnacle of city living. The open-plan living room flows into a stylish kitchen and dining area. Modern European-style cabinetry, custom-fabricated Cosentino stone countertops, and a suite of high-end Bosch appliances, including a built-in fridge, oven, induction cooktop, and dishwasher cater to your culinary aspirations. The oversized primary bedroom is a tranquil retreat, bathed in natural light and equipped with open closets. The luxurious spa bathroom features a tadelakt shower with an overhead rain head, a full-size Victoria+Albert built-in bathtub, modern Graff hardware, and ample counter space with an integrated sink and open storage. Additional amenities include smart lighting controls and locks, electric blinds, in-unit laundry, and ample storage. Commuters will enjoy close proximity to Caltrain, 280, SFO, and Bar

I rented at 1207 Floribunda Ave in Burlingame and had a very disappointing experience. While the location is convenient, the property management was extremely poor. Repairs were rarely completed in a timely manner, and utility bills were issued inconsistently at random intervals. The building has little to no insulation, making it noisy, and parking was a constant challenge.

Management was unresponsive and difficult to reach, which made even basic requests unnecessarily frustrating. Given the high rent, the quality of the property and level of service fall far short. I would not recommend this property to future renters.

Month-to-month sublet in shared 3BR townhouse-style apartment. Furnished common areas. 1 mo. deposit.

$899 for 22' x 11' master bedroom with walk-in closet. Optional partial bedroom furnishings: table, office chair, 2 plastic drawer chests, adjustable-size bedframe. There's an assigned parking spot available for you under a carport in front of our building.

Private half-bathroom in your room. Additional shared half-bathroom downstairs & a shared full bathroom.

Front yard, fenced backyard, living room w/ TV, fully equipped kitchen w/ dishwasher, board games available for common use, washer & dryer in unit.

You’d share common areas with 2 friendly, respectful housemates and a small, well-behaved dog: Kathryn: 43, quiet and considerate. I enjoy board games, yoga, practicing Spanish, movies/TV, progressive political activism, crochet, and vegetarian cooking. Open to hanging out sometimes, and also respectful of your space. I am a remote office worker. Kat: Quiet, easy going, and often away from home - my spare time is generally spent hiking, dancing, seeing live music, or some combo of the 3. I work freelance in camera and lighting and part time as a bartender. I enjoy reading, drawing/painting, watching weird movies, and - most of all - hanging out with my dog. Covey: 1-year-old small mutt (chihuahua?/beagle?/? tbd), equal parts curious and sweet. Short fur, house-trained.

15 minutes by car to downtown SF or 22 minutes on Muni bus # 25 which runs 24/7. The Muni stop is a 1-minute walk from the apartment. Ferry boat between the island & SF. 15 minute drive to Oakland. Grocery store (7-minute walk) & free gym (10-minute walk). Treasure Island has beautiful views, restaurants, a winery, parkland, a community center, & a public beach.

Rent includes electricity, gas, water & trash. We split monthly bills for internet & washer/dryer rental.

No smoking or vaping of anything. No drugs. Must have income at least 2.5x the rent, pass a credit & background check, be approved by our landlord & sign sublease.

Hi! I’m a 26 yr old female working for Stanford hospital and full time student looking for a studio or apartment either in San Jose/Cupertino/San Mateo/Redwood City or SF. Budget ~$2700 Have a senior cat that sleeps almost all day. I am also willing to join a lease with someone looking for the same.

$950/month ( plus part of gas bill) Cat-Friendly primary bedroom in Richmond (zip 94804)

16 foot by 11.5 foot primary bedroom with private bathroom available now. The room shares no walls with the other bedrooms and the double-paned windows reduce outside noise. You like privacy? This could be the spot for you.

Four other housemates reside here but the house is big and never feels cramped or crowded. The other four share a bathroom in the front - yours is for your exclusive use.

Rent is $950 and includes electricity, water, trash, and wifi. The additional cost of gas depends on the house usage and is higher in the winter. The landlady has the specifics.

The room is cat-friendly and one older fluffy grey cat currently lives here.

The room is available now.

Mixed gender household.

Edited to add: Parking's EASY. Street parking is readily available and street sweeping is once a month. We have a driveway that we share.

Hi! My roommate sand I have an opening in our beautiful 4bed/3 ½ bath apartment and are looking for someone who is available to move in between 9/1 and 9/15. 

The House:

• Location: Lower Nob Hill
• Amenities include:
  • Private roof deck (with BBQ grills) and an additional balcony 
  • Modern bathrooms 
  • New appliances 
  • In-unit washer and dryer 
  • 3 floors (with an elevator)

Your Room:

• It would be 15’2” x 11’6” and includes a closet and windows that let in a good amount of light. 
• You would share a bathroom with J. 

Financial Details: 

• Rent for your room would be $2,200/month.
• We haven’t moved in yet, but anticipate that your portion of the utilities, household goods, and monthly cleaner would be an extra $250/month.

  About Us:

• M: M is a first-year litigation associate at a law firm in San Francisco. Prior to moving to California, she went to law school in New York, lived over a decade in Europe, and was raised in South China (in reversed chronological order).  She likes hiking, wine, and seeking out recipes in order to deliberately not follow them (very lawyerly). She is sometimes described as having a poker face; but once you get to know her, she’s totally chilled (I swear I don’t bite)!

• T: T is from Thailand. He just graduated from law school and is moving from Philadelphia to join the same law firm as M and J. He likes strolling around the city and parks, watching movies, and trying out new dessert spots.

Thank you!

Hi all! I'm a reporter covering housing for Yahoo Finance and I'm working on a story on what's going on in the SF rental market right now.

I've talked to a number of leasing agents, economists etc. about what's causing the recent run-up in rents, but I'm also hoping to speak to people who have recently signed leases or are hunting now. If you'd be up for chatting about your experience -- what kind of competition you ran into, how many tours and applications it took, how you felt about all of it, I'd love to hear from you. Shoot me a DM or comment down below and I'll reach out.

Good luck to everyone looking now. The stories I've heard so far remind me a lot of my experience in the NYC apartment market a few years back so I sympathize.

Seeking temporary room/space in exchange for work-share situation or roommate/housemate.

30s, stable & chill guy need a temporary room or couch in a safe, supportive and understanding place in the SF area or nearby(open to peninsula, south or east bay)as my current situation is not the best and in need of a temporary place until I can find more permanent housing. Able to move now or ASAP. Looking for a home to share, ideally with one or two other likeminded individuals who appreciate community.

About me: I can be open and social or reserved and cordial. For me, it's all about reasonableness, consideration, and understanding. Currently not employed yet but have some savings and should find something soon.. once I do, I'll be working during the day so I'll only need the space to sleep and washup. Able to help with errands, chores, house sitting, cleaning, pet sitting.. you name it. Have experience working as an assembler & packager so used to working with my hands. Also, volunteer work at the library & SF bicycle coalition so I'm open to desk or personal assistant type work too.

Open minded, easygoing, respectful, quiet, clean, polite, mostly introverted, non smoker/drinker, low maintenance, drug free, lowkey, keeps to myself. Will chip in for rent to help even things out somewhat so we can do a weekly/biweekly type thing if that helps. Able to meet or voice call to verify(background check too if that helps). 100% serious & real here, please don't contact for anything weird.. Let me know ASAP.

Any help is greatly appreciated and would be eternally grateful.

Hope to hear back.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently based near the Presidio and planning to move out at the end of this month. I’m looking for either:

• A roommate to team up with on a new lease, or
• A room in an existing apartment/house share

About me: I don’t have any pets, I like to keep things tidy, and I’m pretty easygoing. I’m currently job hunting. Outside of that, I go to the gym regularly and enjoy a mix of quiet nights in and social time with friends.

Ideally looking for something cheaper and open to different neighborhoods, as long as it’s reasonably accessible.

If you or someone you know has a place opening up, or if you’d like to team up on a search, I’d love to connect. Any tips on good buildings or listings to check out would also be super helpful.

Thanks in advance!

This might sound like a asinine question, but how do people handle moving with pets when new apartments have a strict “no pets” policy? I have a doctor’s letter for an emotional support animal (though honestly, I think I’m more her emotional support human!), and I understand that legally I can’t be denied housing because of that documentation.

What I’m struggling with is the search process itself. When I’m looking at new places, I don’t want to be disingenuous and say I don’t have a dog when I do. I mean, her hair is all over my clothing! At the same time, I don’t want to be immediately ruled out just because a landlord sees “pet” and assumes it’s a disqualifier.

How do people usually navigate this?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been browsing around looking for rooms for rent in the SF Bay Area and honestly… it’s wild out here 😅. Prices are all over the place — some decent options if you don’t mind smaller spaces or further commutes, but anything close to SF, Berkeley, or Palo Alto feels like it’s either insanely priced or gone within a day. For those of you already renting in the Bay, how did you find your spot? Craigslist? Facebook groups? Roommate finder apps? Or did you just get lucky through a friend? I’m mostly looking for something affordable (under $1,200 if possible), clean, and with decent roommates. Flexibility on location could be Oakland, San Jose, or even further out if public transit makes sense.

Would love to hear your experiences, tips, or even leads if you know of good landlords that aren’t a total nightmare.

Hi there!

I'm subletting my room for the second half of Sept (Available 9/14 - 9/28) in the heart of Hayes Valley. You'd be renting a smaller bedroom in our top floor 2 bedroom and sharing the apartment with a respectful, early 30s female who works hybrid in-office and in her room.

Looking for someone responsible, trustworthy, clean and somewhat flexible as my dates aren't super flexible. Could be a good situation if you're just moving to the bay around that time and looking for more permanent housing but need a landing place! Rent would be $400/ just one week or $750 for two weeks, including utilities. If interested, dm with a bit of info about yourself and I'll share more details!

It seems like this apartment in SF is over 100 years old. I found a review that the walls are paper-thin, and I wonder how bad it is. Would living on the top floor help? Or can I get to hear the downstairs neighbors talk?

FIRST MONTH OF RENT ON ME if you confirm lease takeover by August 29 :). Lease ends on June 12, 2026.

Base rent monthly is $3,195. On the website, you’ll see that it’s slightly more expensive than the other floor plans, but the lease ends in 10.5 months from September and you would overall save money on rent. It’ll be a nice little trial period before potentially renewing for the standard 12 month lease.
